Few Americans have any practical ex-
perience or knowledge of the Congo
country, where Henry M. Stanley pur-
sued his African explorations. William
Cooper is one of the few Americans who
have penetrated that region. He went
over there in 1888 ON a trading expedi-
ton and followed the Congo river $50
miles into the country from its mouth.
He remained there about a year to ex-
change a lot of beads, accordions, mouth
organs, jewsharps and similar trinkets
for the valuable ivory, skins and similar
articles of commerce which the natives
were glad to barter for his gewgaws.
File said the other day that at the end of
a year he sold his goods III Liverpool for
something like SO, 800, which was almost
entirely net profit.
While chatting about Africa Mr..
Cooper said: at has always been a Won
der to me that, while the body of David
Livingstone was brought back from that
country to be inferred in Great Britain
with all the honorst that belong to a great
explorer, the remains of his faithful wife
were left where she died. Mrs. Living
stone was in Africa something like twenty
years, following her husband and his for
tunes with wonderful %faithfulness, and
deserving rare credit for her fortitude
and fidelity. The English government
ought to send for her body, and place it by
the side of her husband. New York

The Partisan restaurants may be diri-
ded into four classes. First come the
''Cremeries," q kind of dairy eating
house, and chiefly supported by the lower
classes; the Establishments Duval," the
restaurants "a fixe prix" and the restau.
rants ga la carte" To the last class be-
long, of course, the fashionable and ex-
pensive cafes of the great boulevards,
such as the Anglais, the Maison Doree
and the Cafe Bignon. The last men
toned, by the way, Is in the Champs
Elysees, and its scale of prices is outrage
GUS, probably due to the fact that its pa
tronage is almost entirely English and
American. A little further down in the
scale come multitude of restaurants "a la
carte" all good and comparatively rea-
sonable. The great trouble is that one
dining alone must either be prepared to
content himself with a very simple din
ner, as far as variety is concerned, or else
be obliged to order twice as much as he
can eat at a proportionate addition to his
bill. One portion for two people is the
almost invariable order in a Partisan res
taurant 'a la carte, F" and some of them
will even serve a portion for three. I'm
less one dimes there in company with a
friend or some accommodating stranger,
he will find that the saving, as compared
with Delmonico's in New York, is little
or nothing, except, perhaps, in the single
item of wine.
The dinners "a fxe prix' vary, of
course, in quality and variety, according
to the price. The table d'hote at six or
eight francs is far superior to anything
outside Of France, and from that one
may dine as low down as a franc and a
quarter. But the cheap French table
d'hote is the worst atrooity that a reckless
man can infiict on his long suffering self.
The service is always poor, the room al
ways crowded, the table, linen and glass
ware always dirty, and the cooking, with
but few exceptions, always bad. The
only thing that is almost invariably good
is the bread, but then the restaurants
themselves do not make it, but buy it
from the bakeries. -Paris Cor. New York

Nearly every pioneer in this section rec
ollects G. d. Fogelsong and his family.
The gentleman engaged In business ven
lures at various times. but was always will
ing to abandon any scheme or leave any
undertaking to engage in political discus
sion. Fogelsong was one of the most Of
icious men who ever lived. If anything
was to be done he insisted upon doing it,
more particularly so for as the Democratic
party or the public was concerned. Per-
haps the most comical of the many anus
ing blunders which Fogelsong was contin-
ually committing occurred something like
this:
The great | was the foreman OF a grand
jury which vas investigating the murder
of some unfortunate fellow at a dance
house near Fort Laramie. During the
session a telegram was received from the
constable of the precinct addressed to the
grand Jury. The clerk was about to read
it aloud, when Fogelsong interrupted him
in tones of thunder, with: Hand me
that dispatch and l will peruse it. I'm
perfectly familiar with the gentleman's
handwriting" The remainder of the
Jury guyed him numerically and spread
the tale after adjourning. 1t is said that
to this day Fogelsong will Immediately
subside in the midst of a heated argument
if some one says: Hand me that dis
patch. I'm perfectly familiar with the
gentleman's handwriting"

Tho Eooentrioity of Genius.

Swinburne is one of the most vindictive
and i'll hammered fellows in literature.
As a sample of the latter trait is cited an
account given by a lady high in Boston
society, who met the poet one evening at
a house in London. Swinburne threw
himself down on a rug before the fire
like a dog, and lay there sprawled at full
length through the evening. joaquin
Miller never carried the ''eccentricity Of
genius further in all his London career

A BRIDE OF A YEAR..

She is white and slender and fair,
Her eyes are afame with desire,
Bright with lister of youth is her hair,
She is dew, she is starlight and fire.
Thou birch tree swayed by the windl
More gently swayed is her form,
For a breath can move her or bind,
And his love is her sunlight and storm.
Her life is a vision, n dream,
Where abe sitteth apart with her Joy;
Adown the days measureless stream
She fioateth where naught can annoy.
Her smile is the smile of the morn,
Her beauty the oolne of eve;

To Inspect the Fisheries.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 19.-The
coming of the government fish
commissions steamer AlbdtrOSS Is
awaited with some impatience by
the principal salmon-canning and
cod6shing firms of the coast. On
her arrival she will proceed north
ward and ascertain the extent OF
the Alaskan cod banks and will
investigate the fisheries of the
north Pacific waters in general.
The work Of the .1ibdtrOSS will
be of vast moment to fishermen
and packing companies alike. 1t
is estimated that the cod banks in
southern Alaska are four times the
size of the famous fisheries of
Canada. The fish seem equally as
abundant. They are of exactly
the same species, and there is
ample reason to believe that when
the value is better known a num-
erous fleet of schooners will doubt
less be sent out every year.
Since the AlbdtrOSs began her
investigation in the interest Of
New England fishermen their
trade has become more of a GER
tainty. In the old times shippers
and their crews depended mainly
on luck. The 1lbdtrOSS has
changed this. By means of deli
cate apparatus the course of sea
surrents and their temperature at
different seasons, and at different
depths, have been learned, and
information, coupled with knowl-
edge of the life of the fish and the
temperature best suited to them,
has enabled the commission to pre-
dict with fair accuracy where
certain fishes will be at GER
tain times. The fishing
smacks govern their movements
accordingly. Similar work has
been done by the Norwegian COM
mission, and Norway fishermen
have employment the year around
now, as against a few months each
year formerly.
1t is also expected that the IL
bdtrOSS will examine into the salm-
on fisheries, with a view of learn
ing the cause of the decrease of
the run in late years. While
speaking of this matter to Joseph
ID. Redding, who is the resident
agent of the government fish COM
mission, he said:
"The shortage in the salmon
pack is becoming serious, and it
should be looked into. The run
in the Sacramento river has been
destroyed virtually through the
ravages of sea lions, total disre-
gard of the fish laws, until recent
ly, and the fouling of water with
debris. Sea lions are like a pack
of starved wolves, and they de-
stroy from 10000 to 10000 pounds
of fish daily. The overfowing of
the Sacramento, on account of its
clogging with slickens, often
drives young salmon into the
tules, where they are stranded. /
have seen acres of land covered
with young fish. We may just as
well admit that the Sacramento is
ruined. Other California rivers
are not so important. The short
age in the Columbia river run
may be explained by ascribing 1t
to what is called periodical eccen-
tricity of the fish. Experience in
Norway proves that they have
seven or eight good years and
then two or three poor ones. The
salmon, in poor years, for some un-
explained reason, do not take to
the rivers. The same explanation
hope will hold good on the Co.
